Concanavalin A is not a ferritin.
Contrary to recent claims, in vitro evidence has been obtained to establish that Concanavalin A (Con A) is not a ferritin. Four techniques including immunoprecipitation, gel filtration, sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation and CsCl centrifugation were employed. None of them showed that Con A is a ferritin.
